Frieze
is pleased to announce that in 2013 the Frieze Sculpture Park will include
works from both Frieze London and Frieze Masters. Selected for the second
year running by Clare Lilley, Director of Programme at Yorkshire Sculpture
Park, this year the Sculpture Park will include new work by some of the
most acclaimed contemporary sculptors alongside historical pieces. With
sculpture dating from the medieval period through to the present day,
this year’s Sculpture Park is the largest presentation of sculpture
to date at Frieze.Lilley’s
selection looks to bring together unexpected correspondences between the
old and new. Sculptures range from an 11th-century stone seated lion and
13th-century gargoyles, to 20th-century pieces by Judy Chicago and Helen
Chadwick, to new work by artists including Oscar Murillo and Alice Channer.Clare
Lilley, said of her selection: ‘Frieze is unique in being able to
show sculpture for the open air in an exceptional, mature parkland; this
year, with the inclusion of works from Frieze Masters, the Sculpture Park
has even greater depth and breadth. It has been exciting to witness the
enthusiasm of proposing galleries and artists. I hope the exhibition will
stimulate and be enjoyed by collectors and curators from around the world,
and also by the thousands of visitors who use the English Gardens every
week.’Sited
in the English Gardens of Regent’s Park, the Sculpture Park is located
a short walk to the east of the entrance to the fair. Entrance to the
Sculpture Park is free to the public.
